@kenny & @rubinovitz throwing out Great War movies tonight. One of the first I ever saw and still sticks with me today: The Longest Day Henry Fonda + John Wayne + Sean Connery + many more One of the best closing scenes for a war movie too

First we critique Hollywood & its downfall due to ZIRP (among other things), then we reimagine, but most of all we honor the artists and creatives that make films possible. Every middleman, service provider or executive decision maker you remove is power and funding you can pass on to talent and audience

If crypto wants to disrupt, it needs to rebalance. Hollywood/modern media is the perfect place to start because it is so one-sided. Not because its 'too liberal' or even because its 'top-down', it's because the loudest people (streaming and studio heads) struggle to understand the gravity of each decision they make. Crypto has the balance mechanisms to give more power to the audience to find better actors, writers, directors, etc... Isn't that what crypto aspires too? To give chance to voices that would otherwise be overlooked in the late-stage analog world?

The Internet is upstream of Streamers --------------------------------------- Attention on the Internet is really hard. Streamers don’t make it easier on themselves: a new tv show / film / anime is posted on their platform and the interactions (views, starts, stopping points, rewatches) are all cataloged to decide if it is a hit or not. But getting people to their platform comes from somewhere else _ Timelines. Streamers compete with a laundry list of other things on any given day, not like the gated attention world of print and tv advertising. Timeline interactions + streaming platform conversion rates are also used to decide whether to continue a show or even explore proximity for related stories. Thus timelines influence the very start of filmmaking, also known as Development, all the way through to the end, known as Distribution. Click, click, decide. Filmmakers, by the way, don’t get access to this data map, so there is no way to test or even guide creation. So why don’t creatives and artists create through the Internet? https://farcaster.xyz/tcw/0xf90d8cde

Faced a lot of hard truths about what I've written & designed to grow @filmatree vs the reality of the tools available & tokens this week. Sorry I still don't have the first drop game up and running to everyone that holds a Window Seat. I think I am close to simplifying it to make it easier so less effort and attention is needed for both you and I. ------- 1/1 Art is clearly the only thing that will both grow culture and maintain value/grow value on a long enough timescale where all of this scales up to include the world's population. Glad that is a focal point for @noyore & @filmatree Much much much much much much more work to do. But now I'm going for a loooonnng run

Filmmaking Is Everything Second or third video I've seen where gen-z founders show that they understand narrative + production value gets you attention in the timeline. They understand there is nothing higher than Internet attention. What if the narrative served new story creation and the production quality always got better. Well then you'd be describing the same work that a film studio does in the analog world. Farcaster already has filmmaking talent | writing talent | visual art talent | acting talent | marketing talent | finance talent | design talent | engineering talent | crypto talent | ai talent ~ all together it looks like the elements that would make up filmmaking of tomorrow. All that is left is to bring this talent together with directional rhythm to get started (harder than I thought, especially with the tools available now, but still too necessary to ignore)

Highlight has not been friendly today. My fault for trying to do this day of really. Trying to figure out a different way to get these into the hands of everyone who has a Window Seat hypersub that so we can play starting Sunday and I can finally introduce to you why I believe the Farcaster timeline is where the next great film studio will come from It’s been a long day so for now I say goodnight and more to come tomorrow

If you have a Window Seat and didn't receive this please let me know so I can make sure you get it. It acts as both a collectable and a permission for decision making / game play

Did my first airdrop last night… 🫥 Anyone have best practice they can share on the easiest way to do one? I messed up and ended up sending each one manually. Not looking to repeat that for the ones I have to do today

Having onboard some people to @hypersub recently I've found some people know of it but don't know what it is. This has been my explainer. Anyone got something better or am I missing something? Hypersub is great - you give me an address, I input that address into Hypersub which keeps track of addresses 'subscribed'. This time-sensitive list means I have one place to keep track of people interested in interacting in whatever story I'm trying to tell. So for Window Seat it means I can send art to everyone, randomize give aways and best of all give permissions during games.

A question on consensus Outside of a few moments in human history (French Revolution, American Revolution), the direction of society has been decided by a few elites. We constantly debate the last mile (housing, finance, even current conflicts based on drawn boarders) based off of the first 100 miles decide by people long since dead with a fraction of the information that we now have at our finger tips. Consensus has never been so easy to reach, yet it seems to be largely ignored or even disposable. Why? How do we collectively decide on more things to alleviate all this pressure from the past?

Advertising cost maybe the same, but return on attention is the worst it's ever been. Marvel works because it is the lowest common denominator for attention in a hyper-saturated social timeline. This won't change until studios and streamers figure out how to produce timeline entertainment & story at a greater rate than influencers and other entertainers taking up people's attention. Netflix is the only one that comes close to understanding this dynamic, but their solution is viral reality slop
